Selection for Call Off contracts will be operated via Mini Competition tender, or Direct Award which takes account of the specific capabilities, specialisation(s) and/or relevant experience of the Framework Consultant, their past experience of the particular project in the Call Off, their capacity and that of the other framework consultant(s), or the timescales of the project requirements. Framework Consultants may also be chosen for Direct Awards based on their geographic coverage or proximity to the delivery location.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework for Architectural Services for Codi Group’s Residential…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 10 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
